Federal health officials are examining whether the surge in antidepressant prescriptions for adolescents may be affecting mental health outcomes, after the tragic Minnesota Catholic school shooting.
Between 2016 and 2022, SSRI use among young people rose by 66%, raising questions about side effects, warnings, and long-term impact on developing brains. Critics argue the real issue is access to firearms, while others call for deeper investigation into psychiatric medications.
Child psychiatrist Dr. Mark McDonald joins to explain what the science actually shows, why prescriptions keep rising, and how this debate is shaping mental health policy.
